Conference title, tournament title, better record than Duke, Texas, and Georgetown and we get a 3.

I didn't like Wisky as a #2 seed, but why in God's name were they the last #3 seed?

They're actually the first 3 seed from what I read.

As I said before, you want to determine one week over an entire body of work?

Kansas (30-3) 55th SOS, 7th RPI
Tennessee (28-4) 1st SOS, 1st RPI

Seems to me Tennessee face just a slightly tougher road than you all and faired just as well on the season.

As I said before, you got that ranking based on a week, not on a season.

i think dayton and illinois state are this year's mid-majors that got robbed (like last year with drexel)

Illinois State 23-9, 4-1 in last 5 regular season games, 32 RPI
Oregon 18-12, 3-2 in last 5 regular season games, 53 RPI

Im not surprised Tennessee got a 2 seed, but they got probably the toughest road to the final four.

does know where I can print out the brackets online?

My favorite possible upset pick is Winthrop over Wazzu right now.

Winthrop has a darn good set of guards in Chris Gaynor and Mike Jenkins. Good post presence as well in Taj McCullough.

Gaynor, Faison and Burton are all guards who all shoot the 3 very well. All the while, Mike Jenkins is one of the best unknown players in America.

Wazzu likes to play at that deliberate pace, completely slowing the tempo down. However, Winthrop likes to do the same as well, relying on their defense to start their offense.

I think Winthrop could potentially pull a fairly big upset in that one.

Go to CBS Sportsline. It's on the front page.

[ramsfan2005813]

watch out for Belmont as a possible 15 over 2 as they are in for the third straight year

[Creek]

3 big 5 schools in:

Villanova
Temple
St. Joes

Honestly, Arizona St. or Dayton or someone deserved a bid over 'Nova. That's really the only thing I disagree with.

Virginia Tech's coach is insanely annoying. Yes, it's a travesty you didn't lose your way into the tourney. He knows they lost to UNC, right? Has anyone told him?

[KCJ58]

Arizona State>>>Arizona

[yodapoop]

I pick this team every year, but I BELIEVE IN KANSAS! THEY WILL BE THE NATIONAL CHAMPS. C'mon Jayhawks, u can do it.

My final four,
UNC
Kansas
UCLA
suprise here, Pittsburgh

Kansas over UCLA in the finals.

They can't put two teams in simply because they beat Xavier.

Eh, I forgot that they beat Stanford but I still don't think they deserve to be in.

Duke did NOT deserve a two seed

I really like Baylor's chance for several upsets in this.

I have UGA over Xavier and then Baylor...

My bracket is awesome, I know.

But hey, they ALMOST beat them. Notre Dame football fans have used an ALMOST win to justify their coach's contract. Why can't VT fans use it to justify why they should be in the tourney? ;)

I follow the A-Sun conference and I can tell you, they have no chance.

Belmont relies as much on the 3 (actually, more) than Duke does. However, they play AWFUL defense compared to Duke.

For once, Duke will be athletically more gifted than their opposition.

Duke should win by 15-20 easy, unless they are laying bricks of epic proportions.

How? They choked in their conference tourney. Tennessee has a huge chance of being upset because they don't play defense, same with Memphis.

[BigJohn98]

I pray that Georgetown and Wisconsin don't meet. That will be the most boring game ever.

Yeah I like Purdue over Baylor. Also Butler as a 7 seed is a joke. They deserved a 4.
